Thanks for the review, captainsolo. Sad to hear that the audio was disappointing on that screening, hopefully it will sound better on the Blu.
Last year there was a radio interview with Frank Marshall:
"Frank Marshall, the producer of all 4 films, was on "Geek Time" and said the transfers for the blu-rays are done and approved by Spielberg with modifications. All he said was changed was the brightness during the jungle chase at the beginning of the film. Spielberg felt it was too dark. He gave no release date..."
Your notes on the overly bright and red orange tinted transfer makes me a little nervous, I've heard this same thing from several people who have seen it. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things turn out.
